Showing the Magaric Bridge in the foreground. The iconic building was hit by a mortar and burned down during the Bosnian Serb siege of the city in 1992. Sarajevo's city hall - housing the national library - has been re-opened - 22 years after it was destroyed by shelling during the Bosnian War on. The city hall - which was first opened in 1896 - was converted into the national library in 1949.
St. Blaise Church was originally 14th-century Romanesque, but this was badly damaged in the 1667 earthquake and finally destroyed by a fire in 1706. The church was rebuilt in its present baroque style between 1706 and 1714.
